Description
Casual Labor presents new work in sculpture and photography by Alex Clausen, Zachary Royer Scholz and Kirk Stoller. Working in a process perhaps best described as material collaboration, these artists create surprising combinations of furniture, building materials and disparate household supplies. In their new and unexpected relationships, these odd assemblages disrupt our assumptions about appropriateness. We might pause to question the evidence of a history we can’t seem to make sense of. Why is that enormous exercise ball strapped to a household banister and furthermore, how did that flowered sofa cushion end up in a field of raked dirt?
